Technology of the Future

Protection for Today

ESP Safety’s Vector model field control unit performs as an integrated control
terminal and display for ESP Safety’s gas detector product line. The Vector can
operate as a stand-alone display for a variety of our gas detectors which can be
remotely located up to 500 feet away. A sensor head can also be attached
directly to the display housing to produce a unified detector/display unit.

Key Features
• Vivid 2.7” (diagonal) 128x64 pixal resolution, OLED screen simutaneously
display a wide range of data including gas concentrations, alarm levels, faults
and operational modes

• Analog 4-20 current loop with HART, Digital RS- 485 Modbus RTU, and 4 relays
are standard data communication channels of the Vector

• Non-intrusive, onsite detector calibration via HART Field Communicator or

Magnetic Wand

• Operating Temp Range of -58°F to +167°F (-50°C to +75°C)

• Configurable to control & monitor up to two detectors

• SIL-2 certification by independent 3rd party agency NRTL SIL 2Rated

• 316 Stainless Steel construction, Explosion-Proof Housing, Class1, Division 1
Applications
• Offshore platforms
• Shipping tankers, freighters,
and other vessels
• LNG/LPG processing &
storage facilities
• Oil & gas refineries
• Petrochemical plants
• Gas & electric utilities
VECTOR
GAS DETECTOR
Features and benefits
• Tri-color status LED indicates operational mode, fault, and gas presence.
• 4 indicators: 3 warning & alarm level LEDs, and 1 calibration LED
• 128 x 64 pixel OLED display providing continuous graphical indication of
trending data for Peak Reading and Time-Weighted Average (TWA)
of gas concentration
• Remote sensor option allows the user to either connect the Vector up to
500 feet away or install the unit at the site of the potential hazard
• Robust construction and heated optics withstand harsh environments
• Plug-in, pre-calibrated (field replaceable) gas sensors
• Enhanced temperature range
• 5 year warranty
